Samuel Pepys


Yesterday afternoon we travelled back in time to 1666 to ask Samuel Pepys some questions about the Great Fire of London! 
He wrote lots of information on the 2nd of September about the fire. 300 houses burnt in that first day! We asked him lots of questions and learned lots of things from him.

Did you know that Samuel Pepys buried his cheese and wine in the garden so that it wouldn't get burnt in the fire or stolen by looters?


Samuel Pepys wore a wig because it was very fashionable then. Did you know that his wife Elizabeth had false teeth made of animal bone! 


You can learn more about Samuel Pepys when we become him later this week and write our diaries about the fire.
